Class 10 Computer Applications: 21 Repeated PYQs Solved for 100% Score

Ultimate Guide to Repeated Computer Applications PYQs

After analyzing this exam-cram video, I believe Class 10 students face three core challenges: identifying high-yield questions, understanding HTML/CSS fundamentals, and avoiding common MCQ traps. This guide solves all three by breaking down 21 most repeated questions from actual CBSE exams. Instructor Mayank Garg's approach demonstrates deep familiarity with the exam pattern - he references specific question patterns from 2023 CBSE papers while emphasizing that 100% score achievement requires systematic preparation.

Chapter 1: Web Technologies Demystified

The video cites fundamental web concepts tested annually. HTTP vs HTTPS distinctions consistently appear: HTTPS uses SSL/TLS encryption (as confirmed by CBSE syllabus documents) while HTTP lacks security. For question "What does 'S' in HTTPS stand for?", the correct answer is Secure - not Static or Sensitive.

Another recurring theme is protocol functions. When asked about TCP's expanded form, Transmission Control Protocol is correct because it's connection-oriented and reliable. This aligns with RFC 793 standards from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the authoritative body for protocol definitions.

Web services questions test practical understanding. Bluetooth file transfer isn't a web service because it operates locally without servers - a distinction often missed. As the video shows, options like banking portals or email clearly require web servers.

Chapter 2: HTML/CSS Question-Solving Framework

HTML tags constitute 30% of exams based on the video's analysis. Critical tags to master:

  • <br> for line breaks (not <lb>)
  • <h1> to <h6> for headings (require opening/closing tags)
  • <!-- --> for comments
  • <body bgcolor> for background color (not background)

For the question "Which attribute sets webpage background color?", bgcolor is correct. Practice shows students often confuse it with CSS properties.

CSS questions frequently test its purpose: separating content from presentation. The assertion that CSS makes updates difficult is false - its real advantage is easier maintenance through external style sheets. I recommend practicing inline vs external CSS implementations.

Chapter 3: Exam Trends and Pro Tips

Beyond the video, recent CBSE patterns show increased focus on real-world tech applications. Questions about 3G/4G's "G" (Generation) or open-source software (like Linux vs Photoshop) test practical knowledge.

My prediction: Expect more scenario-based questions on cybersecurity. For example, why SSH is preferred over Telnet (encryption) could appear as application-based MCQs.

For controversial topics like FTP vs SFTP, always prioritize security aspects - CBSE emphasizes secure protocols in current syllabus updates.

Actionable Exam Toolkit

Immediate checklist:

  1. Memorize protocol expansions: HTTP, TCP, SSH
  2. Practice 5 HTML tag structures daily
  3. Distinguish web services vs local transfers
  4. Identify question traps in "all/none of above" options
  5. Time yourself solving 20 MCQs in 15 minutes

Recommended resources:

  • CBSE Official Sample Papers: Essential for understanding question framing patterns
  • W3Schools HTML Exercises: Ideal for beginners with interactive editors
  • GNU/Linux Live USB: For hands-on open-source OS practice (advanced learners)
  • Vijeta Batch: Comprehensive ₹99 course covering Computer Applications, IT, and AI with PYQ banks (use code MG SIR K10)
